Secre tary Glass made public to-day a let ter to Representative McFadden, of Pennsylvania, replying to Mr. Mc Fadden's inquiry of the authority by which Secretary Glass has con tinued John Skelton Williams in of fice as comptroller of the currency and ex-officio member of the federal reserve board. Mr. Glass said his from the home town of every com pany in the organization will be in the coast city, according to reports that already have come to Camp Stuart. The cities represented in the bat talion ai:e "Gastonia, the home of company A, commanded by Capt. Robert G. Cherry; Asheville, the home of company B, commanded by Capt. Thomas Y. English; Charlotte, the home of company D, command ed by Capt. Oscar R. Mills, and company C, Wilmington, commands ed by Capt. Gause. This was the first busy day spent by the battalion since arriving on American soil. The entire battalion to-day went through the horrors of delousing again so proud mothers -need Tibt, fear the hero son intro ducing French cooties into the "spare bed" the first night he is home. No 'cootie, however hardy, could have withstood what took place to-day at the official louse kill ing plant. After the regulation clean ing officers spent the afternoon checking clothing and equipment of their men and each man will come home with the best clothes that his officer has been able to get him at Camp Stuart. Tonight the men are practicing up on their old American habits of "movies," girls and cold drinks. The battalion landed only yesterday and the machine gunners have got a lot to forget about their old French cus toms, a lot to refresh themselves with on how they used to do this back in the Old North State. The trip across from France was rather uneventful, according to stor ies told around camp to-day. The most engaging thing was the epi demic of seasickness which took hold of officers and men alike the getting V, 1 A - . . me ijuiic io ena tne "pogrom" af ter it had asserted there were no Bolsheviki among Argentine Jews. A cable dispatch received from Buenos Aires during the progress of the riots made no reference to a "po grom" and one received two weeks after the "pogrom" is alleged to have occurred, did not mention any slaughter of Jews, but reported an Israelite delegation had waited on President Irigoyen to protest against "unjust atrocities and inexcusable insults" suffered by them. Although for more than two years disorder has been rife in the Argen tine capital, the most serious riot oc curred last January about the time of the alleged Jewish "pogrom" when in trouble growing out of the harbor siftke which later led to na tionalization of the port 80 persons were 'killed and 800 wounded on the streets. Steady growth of "Bolshevism", was reported and following word that a Bolshevist army was invading Argentine after a battle with fron ties police at Port Natalis, Chile, 1,400 Reds were rouncred up and put on a cruiser for deportation. Washington, March 25. "Crude, unskilled and unlettered the exec utive arm of a military commander," were among the vigorous terms em ployed by Col. Samuel T. Ansell, of Currituck county, N. C, in describ ing the army court martial system in a speech to-da before the na tional popular government league. He will make a similar address on Thursday night before the North Carolina society in the auditorium of Wilson Normal School in Wash ington. He will be given a recep tion by the Tar Heels at the nation al capital. "The court martial system is at fault," said Col. Ansell. "it is one that leads to injustice, logically, naturally inevitably. It is an inher itance from the old British code which we adopted in 1774 and never changed, it is not a court in the proper sense, it is simply the exec utive arm of a commanding officer. "A man is arrested, brought be fore this tribunal. He has no coun sel in the proper sense. A callow second lieutenant without fhy knowledge of law easily intimidated, is assigned to defend him. TheNlieu tenant makes a perfunctory defense, but never insists upon the rights of Lthe man. He is convicted by. a court which has no knowledge of law. The sentence is reviewed by an au thority sometimes equally ignorant of law and the man is forced to un dergo the sentence imposed. "One instance I want to relate from the records of trials by court martial. It is of a man who was ar rested and charged with desertion. He was sentenced to forfeit all pay, be dishonorably discharged and serve ninety-nine years at hard la bor. The reviewing officer in sus taining the court naively remarked that it would not enforce the part of the judgment for the man's dishon orable discharge unii: ne had served his prison sentence."

Having been notified by telephone of the coming of the men fronV. Baltimore, the officials encountered them at Fisher's Hill by blocking passage of a bridge and in the battle that followed one of the occupants of the automobile was shot. He died on the way to a hos pital. He gave his name as Shackle ford. The other man, who was captured by one of the deputies after an ex change of shots, in which he was wounded, gave the name of Hudson. He is in a hospital hrre in a critical condition.

Attorney General Manning rules that section six, of the cotton storage warehouse act of the recent legislature, is un- ! constitutional in that the tax of 25 cents a bale on all cotton ginned is in violation of the constitution, but that the state board of agriculture i must proceed with administering the other provisions of the act, in cluding election of a state ware house superintendent, who is to give $100,000 bond. The roard meets tomorrow and will agree on a policy in view of unconstitutionality of the section designed to finance the warehouse system. GOY. BICKETT APPOINTS NEW HIGHWAY CDHmSSIOn FRANK PAGE IS CHAIRMAN, . WITH CAMERON, NORPLEET AND STIKELEATHKR. Raleigh, March 27. Governor Bickett yesterday named the new state highway commission which will take office April .1, succeeding the present commission, under the highway act passed by the general assembly of 1919. Lieutenant Prank. Page, of Aberdeen, is" chairman, ap pointed for a term of six years. The other members are John E.- Came ron, of Kinston, appointed for a term of four years; James K. Nor fleet, of Winston-Salem, appoMted for a term of two yers, and James G. Stikeleather, of Asheville, ap pointed for a term of two years. In compliance with the law, Gov ernor Bickett named Mr. Stike leather as a representative of the western part of the state; Mr. Page for the central; Mr. Norfleet from state-at-large, although he resides in the Piedmont section which is not represented by other members of the commission. Mr. Cameron is the Republican member required by the act and Governor Bickett did decid edly better for the minority repre sentative thair he might have. He gave him an appointment for four years, whereas he could have made it two. Out jf the mass of recommenda tions and endorsements before him, the governor suggested this aggre gation of men as a body which will do things. GOOD PROFITS FOR SOUTH IN BOTH CORN AND OATS. Chicago, March 25. "The South ern cotton states are now confront ed with the opportunity of a life time," says Wade Hampton Arm strong, cotton specialist of this city, "due to action of Congress . main taining, the price for spring wheat latT minimum price of $2.26." Mr. Armstrong says further: "This act will cause farmers in the spring wheat belt to plant ant immense acreage in spring wheat at the expense of corn and oat acreage, and as a result will mean high prices for corn and oats which grains can be grown in the South as well as in the West. "The cotton acreage annually planted is about 36,000,000 acres and all of this land will produce corn and oats. A reduction of one third in cotton acreage will leave 24,000,000 acres for cotton and 12, 000,000 for corn and oats, which would mean an increase in produc tion of corn of 350,000,000 bushels and a decrease of 4,000,000 bales in" the production of cotton. The crop produced on 24,000,000 acres would be about 10,000,000 bales, which should easily bring in the markets of the world 30 cents per pound of $1,500,000 which would be more than could be obtained for a cotton, crop of 15,000,000 bales and leave the South 350,000,000 bushels of surplus corn which will bring good . prices and help reduce the high cost of living. In addition to this the South would also realize high prices, for the cotton they now have oit hand, due to lack of ocean transpor tation and stoppage of all shipments to Germany and Austria."

Shipments out of town ate light so. far. Farmers throughout the state will eventually get the soda. It is said the demand for it has not yet been manifested, and as there is ample storage space here, no effort will be made to distribute Tt at once. The soda was originally consign ed to the war department to be used in the manufacture of explosives. When the armistice was signed sev eral vessels en route to Atlantic ports with cargoes of soda were di verted to Wilmington, and an ar rangement made where by thj farm ers of the South might secure the soda for crop needs. - Ml 3 if - 4i 'h f t 1 t- 5 m It Ji -
